Nubbin's Slough, Plein Air, Impressionism Landscape

"Nubbin's Slough"
8 x10 inches
(ready to frame)
Acrylic on canvas board
$675.00
This is just down the road from my house. I hope to do a whole series of this area. There isn't a lot of shade, so I went out around 7:00 this morning before it got too hot. The water is still very low even though we have been getting some rain off and on. Every bit of the land shown here was under water in January.
At least this part of Lake Okeechobee isn't being dredged. Some places are digging out the black muck so the lake will come back healthier when the water levels rise again.

Guam, Impressionism Landscape

" Teenage Memories (Guam, USA)"
12 x 16 inches
Acrylic on canvas panel
Not for Sale

This is done completely by memory. I graduated from High School on the island of Guam. The thing I remember most was the dramatic sky. We had spectacular sunsets almost every night. The reef lined most of the island and the waves would break on the jagged rocks. I painted the ocean at low tide here to show the rocks.

Singing the Blues, Heron, Impressionism Wildlife

"Singing the Blues"
(Tri-colored Heron)
8x10 inches
Acrylic on canvas covered hardboard
Not Available

This is a study in value: a monochrome painting. One color plus white. I had fun taking pictures of this little heron, he just kept running all over the place, and then he would come running back. I wanted to get one of him taking off, but he never did -- which was fine with me because I took a lot of good shots of him.

This is a little spot up near the Kissimmee River, before the drought set in. My boys used to prop up their poles and go catch minnows in a net. Good memories.

Sun Flowers, Impressionism, Daily Painting

"Sun Flowers"
8x10 inches
Acrylic on watercolor paper
Not Available


This was done alla prima, or all at once. I was pushing the color contrast, obviously! Acrylics dry quickly, so I had to work fast to get the effect I was affter. I love the way the sun-flowers look like 2 suns. Enjoy!

Stone Bridge, Plein Air, Daily Painting


"Stone Bridge"
8 x 10 inches
Acrylic on canvas board
Not Available

This was a fun little painting. I went to McKees Botanical Gardens this week. It was overcast when I set up. Then the sun came out and got very hot, so I had to work quickly! I got all caught up in painting the rocks. I might add just a little more to the palm trees, but I am happy with the way the focus is on the bridge.
